I did mention this to them today, since I remember this too. In one of their e-mails, one of their tech support people told me that one of her/his friends did a similar experiment and the friend's machine was taken down in a few minutes. It seems now that they do understand that this happens because the server is not properly configured, not because Linux has inherent security holes. thanks -- Andrew
